Prosecution of subjects forging documents of agencies and organizations

The Investigation Police Agency of Thai Hoa Town Police (Nghe An) has just issued a Decision to prosecute the case and prosecute the accused Nguyen Duc Tinh (born in 1987), residing in Long Hung Commune, Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai Province, for the crime of forging documents of agencies and organizations.

Previously, through the work of grasping the situation, Thai Hoa town police discovered a ring of counterfeiting seals and fake documents of agencies and organizations, so they reported to the provincial police leaders for advice to establish a special project to focus on verifying, investigating and clarifying.

Using synchronous professional measures, the Task Force determined that this network was very tightly organized with the participation of many subjects; each with specific roles, from the leader, producer to collaborators in charge of advertising and transactions.

This group of subjects takes advantage of cyberspace, especially social networking platforms, to promote fake document services and expand their customer network. The subjects commit to performing quickly, securely and attracting the participation of many collaborators across the country, forming a widespread "tentacle" system.

After a period of painstaking verification, the Investigation Committee identified the ringleader as Nguyen Duc Tinh, who played a direct role in production, distribution, and operation of the line.

Collecting documents, consolidating records, determining that the opportunity to solve the case had come and with the consent of the provincial police leaders, Thai Hoa town police arranged 10 working groups to participate in solving the case. Of which, 1 working group went directly to Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province to fight and arrest the ringleader; the remaining groups verified and worked with related subjects.

Accordingly, on December 15, 2024, the town police successfully broke up the case and arrested Nguyen Duc Tinh. Searching the suspect's temporary residence at RD38/08, Long Hung resettlement area, Phuoc Hoi hamlet, Long Hung commune, Bien Hoa city, the authorities seized hundreds of fake documents, including: university degrees, certificates, press cards, vehicle registration papers, ID cards, inspection stamps... and many tools and machines used to make fake documents, such as: computers, color printers, laminators, diploma blanks, certificate blanks...

Expanding the investigation, the task force arrested two subjects: Hoang Thanh Tuyen (born in 1996), residing in Yen Khanh commune, district of Y Yen, Nam Dinh province and Nguyen Tuan Thong (born in 1997), residing in Bau Can commune, district of Chu Prong, Gia Lai province, who played an active role in the ring.

At the Investigation Agency, Nguyen Duc Tinh confessed to his crime. Accordingly, from the beginning of 2024 until now, the subject has successfully forged thousands of papers and documents of all kinds for customers across the country; for each forged paper or document, the subject collected from 3 to 5 million VND.

The fake papers and documents were ordered by customers for the purpose of applying for jobs, legalizing degrees, records, etc. In particular, the subjects also forged summonses from the police to commit illegal acts.

Currently, the project is being continued to expand.
